Samood rejected the warning. 23 saying: “Are we to follow a single mortal, one from among ourselves? If we do that, we shall surely be in error and folly. 24 Out of all of us has the Reminder been given to him alone? Rather, he is indeed an arrogant liar' 25 'They shall surely know tomorrow who is the impudent liar. 26 For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience! 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 32 LOT'S PEOPLE [too] gave the lie to all [Our] warnings: 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 He had warned them of Our assault but they disputed the warnings. 36 And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning." 37 And at daybreak a determined punishment came upon them. 38 Now taste My punishment after My warnings! 39 Hence, indeed, We made this Qur'an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 40
